“Angel Beats!” episode2 was broadcast on TV the other day. The episode1 got high reputation last week in Japan. In spite of introduction of the story, ep1 had high quality in especially battle scenes and music. Besides, in ep1 the mystery of “Angel Beats!”’s world-establishment came up in discussion already. Will the mystery be disclosed little by little along advance of the story?

Well, I introduce real-time reactions to ep2 on Twitter in Japan also this week.

Because ep1 didn’t have regular OP and ED, this time is the first time regular OP and ED has been opened. Then how was reactions of audience to OP?

“I had goosebumps by OP sooooooo mucchhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
“Angel Beat! has started now. I have heard this voice somewhere.”
“Piano is good.”
“This OP is very good and looks like OP of adult video game.”
“Is it really that Angel plays piano?”
“I have a fever probably, but I watch it.!
“Because of Lia who sings OP, OP smells Key.”

This time Yuri seems show their base for us. In the base arms are made and sent to above the ground. However, I am surprised that they have the too large-scale system for only a Angel. By the way, Yuri’s sitting style at a strategy meeting is nice. I want to follow her, too. Then there seems to be a character who exists only for gags. He is Noda.

“Yuri looks really nice with the cap or just I have fetishism for caps”
“A strategy meeting>underground>descent……GUNDAM+Eva+Sakura Taisen lol”
“It seems easy to find the entrance!”
“I have expected that the ladder leads scenes of panties.”
“Someone is there! It is that fool!”
“Noda regards situation as important lololol”
“Noda looks like a little “Bakato Test to Shoukanjuu”’s Mutturini.”
“Angel Beats! which is acknowledged in not interesting joke”
“I don’t want to think that I can’t die with the pain which reaches die.”
“That girl who looks Ninja is very cute!”

Although they will go down to the Guild to get the arms, Angel has detected the Guild and already left for there. So the guild has put their traps into motion. As a result, Yuri and members have to pass through the traps. However, this way is like a dungeon which there is often in video game. And the setting in which characters don’t die is similar to world of video game.

“Very typical trap “big ball” has come lol”
“Indiana Jones and biohazard lol”
“Precious sacrifice lol”
“The setting in which people don’t die reduces the tension much.”
“TK is too strong.”
“He forgets the trap too much”
“What a brutal way to die this anime is!”
“Yuri’s bellybutton is erotic.”
“Did Yuri say I can grab her body anywhere!?!?”
“Envious. No no, rude!”

Oh, Shiina who looks like Ninja of girl has a passion for cute things!? The character setting must get a lot of hearts of men certainly. And I am one of them. It is interesting that the seriousness of death is changed by the situation. The death were such light like a video game in the first half. What is important thing is that Yuri’s past is talked and not reason of her death. Also the lead character of man, Otonashi has no memories before death. It is certain that after this the past is key in the story. Besides one more setting is added. Who killed oneself can’t come to this world. By the way, they has gotten to the Guild.

Also this time the battle scene has high quality. The Angel’s distortion guard is especially cool. By the way, Angel is a reticent person. Yuri and her members call her Angel, but this Angel in question has not said “I am Angel” yet. And she has no colleague? However the role of the Angel may be not cared about anything, if only she is a enemy. At that time she appears ahead Yuri and members as absolute and unreasonable destruction. Or there may be a possibility that the Angel is a lead character. Moreover, I think the setting that characters don’t die and have noticed a sense of incongruity. That characters don’t die is generally is the premise or unspoken assumption of animes. After of the tacit consent, it dares to be built into the setting of this work again in the nest type.

“I want to know the process from death to regeneration.”
“I will watch Angel Beats!, mainly Shiina.”
“The progress of story is not like anime. But I like it.”
“cat-fight”
“It is too late that we will be able to hear OP full version.”
“This world may be a institution for education. Also Yuri’s rebellious spirit and leadership are reinforced through resisting against Angel.”
“I can’t judge which has justice. Because there are only the topics about Yuri, somewhere topics about Angel will be talked somewhere.”
“By the way, where does Shiina ride on in ED?
